USDC Sees Record Weekly Minting as Institutional Demand Rises
Circle's stablecoin USDC has seen significant minting in recent days. According to on-chain data from Lookonchain, Circle mints 5 billion USDC over the past week. This rapid issuance expands total stablecoin supply and directly feeds liquidity into major pairs including BTC.
The minting pace marks the largest weekly USDC creation since early 2026 and signals rising institutional demand for dollar exposure inside crypto markets. Traders now watch whether the fresh USDC flows into spot Bitcoin or fuels derivatives leverage.
